"And through this campaign, we are trying to utilize Zilingo's e-commerce platform to the best of its ability to reach out and help our health workers and those who are in need," she added.

The eDonation drive gives an opportunity to the people who are confined to their homes to contribute and provide assistance even in a small way for the welfare of the frontline workers who are battling the spread of the COVID-19 daily as well as to those deprived who are unable to sustain their families in this difficult period.

"We believe that we can get through this crisis, through everyone's generosity and kindness. Let us share the love in this critical moment and extend our care to fellow countrymen. Together #WeCanDoThis," concluded Ryza Dipatuan, Zilingo Marketing Director.
